Emissary
I wear it everyday and have been for 32 years now at work. The technology has come a real long way from when I first started. My first vest made me feel like the kid from the movie "A Christmas Story" when the Mom bundled him up to go outside and he exclaimed 'I can't put my arms down". If and when I retire that item is getting put away as a memento. What I really love about body armor is the manufacturer recommends replacement every 5 years. I just recently took a vest that was over 20 years old to the range and shot it and it did it's job and stopped all the rounds I sent into it. I think it's the company's way of selling more vests or something.
In just the 6 years since I bought mine the technology has made them thinner and lighter.
